IPL 2023 Auction: 4 Players Who Can Get The Highest Bid. IPL 2023 auction will take place in Kochi On 23 December 2022. BCCI, in an unofficial way, has said that they are planning for an early start for the IPL 2023. This will also mean that first time in history, we will see an IPL auction before the calendar year starts. The previous IPL edition saw a few players giving standout performances.
Apart from that, this year, a few players have performed exceptionally well in cricket’s shortest format. Let us look at the top 4 players who can get the highest bid in the upcoming IPL 2023 mini-auction.
Cameron Green
Cameron Green, in just 4 T20 matches, has received massive praise from cricket experts. Playing against India in the recently concluded India vs Australia 3-match t20 series, he was the top scorer with 118 runs in 3 innings. It is an irony to see a player from Australia playing outstanding cricket and still not getting selected for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 squad.
Cameron Green is a multi-dimensional player who can be a valuable asset for any IPL franchise. It is said that if any player performs well against India, 9 out of 10 times, the IPL team owners pick them. The same case will happen with Cameron Green.
He can bat at the top of the order or even in the middle order. Cameron Green can also be a very useful medium-pace bowler. Considering his immense potential, we won’t be surprised if he gets the highest bidding amount in IPL 2022 auction.

Rajat Patidar
Rajat Patidar was the player who came outside the syllabus question for Lucknow Supergiants in the penultimate game of IPL 2022. The RCB batter smashed a brilliant century, scoring 112* runs in 54 deliveries. That inning gave him instant recognition.
No one knew a lot about Rajat Patidar before the IPL 2022 eliminator match. But, the kind of innings he played against Lucknow was a sight to behold. In 7 innings of IPL 2022, Rajat Patidar scored 333 runs, at an average of 55.50 and strike rate of 152.75. This includes 1 century and 3 half-centuries.
Rajat Patidar if released by the RCB franchise, will surely give the other team owners an opportunity to shed water-like money to include him in their respective teams. Rajat Patidar IPL 2022 auction price was Rs 20 lakhs.

Mohsin Khan, although started late, emerged as one of the most promising bowlers of IPL 2022. Playing for Lucknow Super Giants, the pace bowler scalped 14 wickets in just 9 matches. He showed amazing temperament and made the bowl swing from both ends. Mohsin Khan has a great future ahead, and he will only improve from here on, given his incredible talent.
